4. A conflict between the Cullens and Nomadic Vampires(all 3 of them) occur
5. One of the Nomadic Vampires (James) dies when the Cullens attack to save Bella 6. In this book, it is a strong love story. Basically a romance.
New Moon:
1. The Cullens celebrate Bella's birthday
2. Jasper was about to attack her because she got a cut from opening her presents
3. The Cullens, including Edward leave Forks
4. Bella hangs out with Jacob
5. Bella tries to get Edward out of her mind
6. Alice comes back, thinking that Bella committed suicide but was trying to skydive for fun
7. Edward goes to Italy where the Volturi can kill him because Rosalie told him that Bella died
8. Alice and Bella tries to stop him
9. The Volturi asks for Bella, Edward, and Alice to be a part of their coven
10. They decide that they want to go back to Forks 11. Jacob is mostly in the story 12. Laurent dies(Nomadic Vampire)13. But in this story, it became a little moredepressing because Edward was gone and a little comforting becasue Jacob was there for Bella.14. Jacob confessed that he was a werewolf.
Similarities:
1. It was created by the same person(Stephenie Meyer)
2. Both stories are about vampires
3. In both stories, Bella was narrating(telling the story from her own point of view)
4. Both books are part of the Twilight Series
5. Both of the books have the same genre(romance)
6. Both stories were base on Stephenie Meyer's dreams
Reaction:
The way I reacted to these stories was that one of them are a romance and the other was very depressing. I think it was so romantic when Edward comes into the story in Twilight. When he finally introduces himself and he says he loves her. In New Moon, I felt so sorry for Bella when the love of her life has to leave Forks. She ended up being an emotional wreck. Many months later, Jacob was the one who was always with her. The way Bella was different in Twilight than New Moon was that in New Moon, she was a little more depressed and lonely. Jacob was more different in New Moon than Twilight because he was the one who was more protective of Bella and he played a larger role than Edward.

Twilight Summary: Isabella Marie Swan(she prefers Bella) moves from Phoneix, Arizona to Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie Swan(also known as Chief Swan). Bella attends Forks High school where she meets Edward Cullen. As she gets used to Forks, Bella and Edward become friends and secretly love each other. Bella is curious and wants to know what's wrong with Edward. One day, she talks to her childhood friend, Jacob Black who says that the Cullen's(Edward, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Carlisle, and Esme) are the cold ones(vampires). Edward soon addmits it and tells Bella that he loves her. Bella meets his family. She was expecting a coffins and non-modern vampires but she found out that they are a very nice(except Emmett and Rosalie), vegetarian, modern vampire family(no coffins). All of them play baseball with thunder. Alice(who can see the future) sees that more vampires are coming their way. Edward reads James(one of the Nomadic vampires) mind and wants to kill Bella. Alice and Jasper watch and take care of Bella while Edward hunts James. Then Bella goes to her old ballerina studio and finds James there. He attacks Bella but Edward comes to save her. He kills James with Alice, Jasper, and Emmett. Soon after Bella has been cured from her accident, Edward takes her to their school prom. There, they dance and finally kiss.
New Moon Summary: In the beginning, it's Bella's birthday and Alice and Edward want to celebrate. On the other hand, Bella doesn't want to have a big 18th birthday party. But Alice begged her to go to her house to celebrate. As Bella was opening her presents, Jasper was about to attack her because she got a paper cut. After her party, Edward and the rest of the Cullens had to leave Forks. She was very sad but had Jacob to comfort her. They spent all their time together, like they did when they were little. Then, she found out that he was a werewolf. Jacob had to stay away from her to make her safe. But Bella still wanted to be with Jacob. One day, Bella went skydiving for fun. Alice came back rushing to see if Bella was ok. Alice stayed at Bella's house to watch her. Then Jacob came to see Bella at her house while Alice was still there. The phone rang and Jacob answered. He said it was someone looking for Bella's father. He also said that he went to a funeral. But it was actually Edward and he thought that Charlie was going to Bella's funeral because Rosalie told him that she committed suicide. Alice saw that Edward was on his way to Italy so the Volturi can kill him. Both Bella and Alice go to Italy to stop Edward. They made it just in time. He saw that she was still alive. But before they leave happily, they have to tell the Volturi Coven that he didn't want to be killed. But they wanted Edward, Bella, and Alice to be a part of their coven. They say that they don't want to be part of it and leave Italy. They return back to Forks where Bella can be safe. But she won't be safe for a long time because Victoria is returning. She will kill Bella because Edward killed James.(No happily ever after, yet)

1. What are you good at?
2. How do you feel when you're doing the thing you're good at?
3. How would you feel if people wouldn't let you do the thing you're good at?
Answers:
1. I am very good at running, drawing anime, and making my own songs.
2. When I'm running, I feel calm and free. When I am drawing japanese characters, I feel relaxed and excited because everytime I draw, an idea just suddenly comes to me. Also when I create my own songs and then sing to it, I feel that I can express myself in words, not just my drawings.
3. If people would not let me do what I am good at, I would be VERY FRUSTRATED! Also, I don't even know why I wouldn't be able to draw, run, sing, and write songs. That's just weird.

Chapter 8
An important theme in this novel is that people should follow their dreams and do what they believe is right, even if they don't follow their society's expected ways.
The author examines this theme in a stone age setting. Imagine a similar situation today, where a person's desires go against society's expectations
What situation did you imagine?
In the situation you imagined, should the person follow his or her dreams or should they follow society's rules? Give your opinion.
Answer:
Well it depends on what they want to do if its against society's expectations or not. One example is when people have many dreams to do what they love. When boys want to become ballet teachers or students. That should be against society because lots of boys I know love to dance especially ballet and they should do what they love. That shouldn't be illegal. Another example is that when girls love to do sports. Some girls like to run, play football, soccer, baseball, etc. Well I love to do sports especially running and that should not be illegal because thats what I do. That is my hobby. Girls doing boys stuff and boys doing girls stuff should not be illegal because everyone has a different interest and they love to do it.
